Françoise Pène studied at the University of Rennes 1 and after being admitted to the Agrégation of Mathematics, she did a Phd thesis under the supervision of Jean-Pierre Conze. She became maîtresse de conférence at the University of Brest. She is an honorary member of the Institut Universitaires de France and is currently university professor at the University of Brest. Her main field of researxh is the study of the stochastic properties of dynamical systems with chaotic behavior (including in particular the Sinai billiard, the periodic Lorentz gas, the Bunimovich stadium billiard, billiards with corners and cusps, etc.).
She also works on probabilistic models (random walks in a random sceneries, etc.).
